Season 2 Draft Discussion

[Jarquis]

Out of interest, is there any distinction made for wicketkeeping ability in the sim?

Yes.

 

[Prince EWS]

Just realised I was actually up twice in a row My bad

 

[Jarquis]

You're only up once, you retained Watto in R1 so only needed to pick R2.
Now Flem's back up.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah read it wrong and got confused.

 

[morgieb]

Is it just me or is everyone choosing favourites?

 

[Flem274*]

I'm definitely choosing favourites.

Need to find out some of Daemon's.

 

[Spark]

Is it just me or is everyone choosing favourites?

Nah. If I were really choosing favourites there'd be four, maybe five names I'd be going for. I already have two of them and another two are already gone.

The main reason I selected Pattinson first was beacuse I thought you'd be gunning for him? Realised afterwards that you don't actually get to pick for the first 3 rounds anyway 8| (not that I regret it ftr, such a gun)

It would be interesting to see how Round 1 of drafting may have looked without the player retentions.

I would still have picked Sachin regardless. He was such a jet in Season 1, and recent form aside he would be hard to beat for a star batsman. Guaranteed to average 30 this season now I say this.

 

[Jarquis]

Quite a lot of favourites have gone it seems but I wanted a quality spinner to compliment Harris and Philander so was tossing up between Ajmal and Shakib. Shakib the much better batsman (obvz) and Ajmal got picked anyway (obvz) so was a no contest.

Really wanted Zaheer. My plan to just try and draft a new attack went so badly, everyone else retained at least one bowler and then all the Test-standard ones starting going in round one.

Including the one you actually did try to pick in Round 2.

Every one of England and South Africa's front line seamers had been taken before I had my first pick. And the only Australian ones remaining where Hilfenhaus and Cummins.

Hilfenhaus was picked by Vimes in post #3, so he was gone too. Howe just being a bit daft.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well then **** bowlers.

Looks like I'll have to settle for Sreesanth and Southee taking my new ball then. Dire.

 

[Furball]

People need to stop ****ing up my plans or I'll just have to draft an awesome team again and lol

 

[Eds]

Was kind of hoping Murali would slip through with the not playing FC since 2010 lark. Ah well.

Southee was verging on the realms of acceptable for my team last time out.

Yeah, I gambled releasing him in the hope of picking him up later than round 2.
